Question 1 Report

A relative density bottle has a mass of 19 g when empty. When it is completely filled with water, its mass is 66 g. What will be its mass if completely filled with alcohol of relative density 0.8?
Answer Details

Let mb=mass of empty bottle,

mw 𝑚 𝑤 =mass of water only and


ma 𝑚 𝑎 = mass of alcohol only
 

given; mb 𝑚 𝑏 =19g



mb 𝑚 𝑏  + mw 𝑚 𝑤  = 66g

mb 𝑚 𝑏  + ma 𝑚 𝑎  = ?

R.d=0.8

R.d=mass of alcohol

mass of equal volume of water = mw 𝑚 𝑤 =66-19=47g

0.8 = ma47 𝑚 𝑎 47


ma 𝑚 𝑎 =0.8×47 =37.6g

 mb 𝑚 𝑏  + ma 𝑚 𝑎  = 19+37.6=56.6g
